I wonder if I had waited a day and the second book was in stock, they would have charged less shipping, as it may have calculated shipping based on two shipments.

The History book sounds interesting, but will only be eye-candy for me, so had better have something more than a double-sided poster for me to drool over.
(the double-sided poster with the 2014 Generations book was quite nice, so I'm looking forward to this one)
